Which outcome occurs when combustion timing drifts in a lean-burn gasoline engine?

💡 Explanation

Unstable combustion causes fluctuating exhaust temperature because deviations in ignition timing induce cycle-to-cycle variations in peak temperatures via adiabatic expansion/compression of the gas, therefore exhaust gases vary rather than showing consistently hot/cold patterns associated with efficient or in-efficient burn profile.
